PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jamal Hudak (ranked 2288 p4p, 3355 weight class) and Eric Ries (ranked 186 p4p, 260 weight class). Eric Ries struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.3lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Eric Ries was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
